Start a VM remotely

Is there any way to start a VM remotely? Like for example an easy button on my phone? I use my Windows 11 VM for gaming and don't like to just leave it running 24/7 so I do shut it down when I'm done but having to login to the Unraid GUI from my phone to start the VM is a bit cumbersome. Looking for a equivalent to like a "Power Button" for a Windows VM.

Actually just found this and it worked like a charm. It covers how to do it over the Internet but I don't really need that so I just configured the plugin and downloaded a WOL app from the App Store to send the magic packet to the MAC of the VM... already working, very easy!
